After a few hours, Gu Xingyun's face gradually turned dark.

None of the three important books were found, but all the thick scripts and plays were there.

He also opened one of the books called "Yuxu Secret Records" with anticipation, and the lifelike paintings almost made him poke his eyes out.

Yan Huailiu actually watched this kind of thing in private!

Simply... shameless!

A surge of anger surged in Gu Xingyun's heart, and he himself didn't know where it came from. He threw the pornographic book back to its original place.

Then he clenched his back teeth and turned away.

He shouldn't have hoped!

Considering the bad appearance that guy had in the past, how could he read any serious book?

After leaving an hour earlier, Gu Xingyun walked for a while but still couldn't suppress his anger.

Seeing Ling Xinghua and Yu Ziheng walking together from afar, he snorted coldly, turned around and hid in the shadows on the side, not wanting to greet the two of them.

But Yu Ziheng was really noisy and was still chattering when he passed by him.

"Brother, you've been here for so long, have you really never eaten a meal made by our Master?"

Gu Xingyun held his breath for a moment and listened carefully to the conversation.

Ling Xinghua replied, "No, Master never cooks. He probably doesn't like the smell of cooking fumes. Usually, his meals are prepared by Senior Brother."

"Oh~ Then, Senior Brother, have you ever eaten the food cooked by Senior Brother? Is it delicious?"

"Uh... no, Senior Brother only made Master's portion. Your Third Senior Brother and I have always eaten in the dining hall."

Gu Xingyun didn't even raise his eyelids. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Yu Ziheng's next sentence: "Then we will all have a feast today. I don't know if Master's cooking is delicious. Brother, let's go faster and help Master!"

"Slow down, you'd better follow me to the dining hall. Master only said that the food would be given to Jingming, not to you."

"Ah~ Why is that? I also want to eat what Master made. Can't I go without being told?"

Yu Ziheng hugged Ling Xinghua's legs and acted coquettishly.

The latter remained unmoved and pulled him up sideways by his belt: "No, your third brother sent a message saying that Master is not in a good mood today. They are all frightened. He specifically told you not to disturb them. Be careful that Master will throw you out again..."

"Ahhh... Let me go, I can walk on my own! Brother..."

The two people's voices gradually faded away. Gu Xingyun walked out from the shadows and raised his eyelids slightly: "Cooking by yourself?"

He has been cooking for Yan Huailiu for so many years, doesn’t he deserve to taste the fruits of his first cooking?

"Master...you are being a little biased."

He murmured softly, and after a moment he changed direction and walked towards Yan Huailiu's residence.

In the courtyard.

Baili Changhuan threw a pile of things there, explained to Chang Sui how to preserve them, and prepared to leave.

Yan Huailiu was unusually polite and said, "Junior brother, aren't you staying for dinner?"

Baili Changhuan said with a fake smile: "No, I don't have the good fortune to eat what my senior brother made. I'll go back first."

Bah! Who wants to sit here and wait for you to show off?

Who wants to listen to you say nonsense like "See, it's so easy, doesn't my junior brother know how to do it?" while eating? He doesn't want to make himself suffer!

"Oh, then take care, Junior Brother."

Yan Huailiu waved his hand indifferently.

Baili Changhuan raised his chin, rolled his eyes at his back, and turned away.

Chang Sui hurriedly sorted the things on the ground: "Master, do you really not want to leave some for you?"

"What are you doing for me? It's a waste to leave it there. Once you're done, go inside and wait. There's medicine prepared for you on the table. If you're impatient, go next door and process the herbs we picked today."

After Yan Huailiu pointed to the room next door and gave his instructions, he waved the bag in his hand towards Chang Sui and said, "Master, let me show you some of my skills."

He has lived here for so long, living a life of having everything provided for him, that he feels like his limbs are degenerating.

Although I always liked to order takeout in the past, I would cook for myself a few times every month and reward myself with delicious food.

I can’t lose this habit. I don’t know if my cooking skills have declined.

Chang Sui was touched. He packed up his things obediently, washed his hands clean, and sat on the steps waiting for Yan Huailiu to come back.

Little Lightning passed by, glanced at him, and decisively jumped on him, intending to sharpen his claws on his clothes.

Chang Sui grabbed it, hugged it and kissed it several times, which made it meow in anger.

"Hehe, Master is going to cook for me. No one else has any, not even the eldest brother, the second brother, or the younger brother Yu. He's only going to give it to me, hehe..."

As soon as Gu Xingyun came in, he heard the silly laughter of his junior brother.

He raised his eyebrows slightly: This brat is showing off now?

Little Lightning grabbed Chang Sui's clothes hard and made a biting gesture, forcing Chang Sui to let go.

After Little Lightning ran away, Chang Sui saw Gu Xingyun standing not far from him.

His face flushed instantly, and he quickly stood up: "Big, big brother, when did you get here?"

You probably didn't hear the stupid thing he just said, did you?

"Coming as you speak."

Gu Xingyun didn't give his junior fellow apprentice any face and watched helplessly as his face turned as red as a tomato.

"Is Master cooking just for you, or is he cooking for everyone? You wanted to eat alone so you didn't notify everyone, huh?"

Gu Xingyun reached out and touched Chang Sui's eyebrows.

Chang Sui complained: "No, Master specially compensated me..."

He didn't eat alone on purpose.

Although I did have the thought of having dinner alone with Master.

"Compensation? What compensation?"

Gu Xingyun asked curiously.

Chang Sui could only tell him everything that happened today.

"So... you caused Master to fall and get poisoned, and you want Master to compensate you?"

Gu Xingyun is very good at grasping the key points.

Chang Sui's eyes turned red again: "I, I didn't mean it."

"Jingming! Come here and help me hold it..."

Yan Huailiu's voice came from afar, and the two of them looked up at him at the same time.

Gu Xingyun subconsciously walked towards Yan Huailiu and took the thing from his hand: "Master, let me do it."

Yan Huailiu's heart skipped a beat as he never thought he would see Gu Xingyun at this time. Without a second thought, he avoided him and said, "No, I can do it myself."

Gu Xingyun's hand froze there as he watched Yan Huailiu quickly walk around him towards Chang Sui. His back inexplicably revealed a look of panic.

"Master, let me do it, I've washed my hands!" Chang Sui happily took the fragrant food box from Yan Huailiu.

Looking at the harmonious figures of the two, Gu Xingyun's face turned a little colder.

In the past, without an invitation, he would have certainly kowtowed and left, but now...

Gu Xingyun sneered, and when he looked up again, he had changed his expression to a pitiful one of submission, and walked towards Yan Huailiu step by step.
